Attach parameter to button.addTarget action in Swift
If you want to send additional parameters to the buttonClicked method, for example an indexPath or urlString, you can subclass the UIButton:
class SubclassedUIButton: UIButton {
var indexPath: Int?
var urlString: String?
}
Make sure to change the button's class in the identity inspector to subclassedUIButton. You can access the parameters inside the buttonClicked method using sender.indexPath
or sender.urlString
.
Note: If your button is inside a cell you can set the value of these additional parameters in the cellForRowAtIndexPath method (where the button is created).
You cannot pass custom parameters in addTarget:
.One alternative is set the tag
property of button and do work based on the tag.
button.tag = 5
button.addTarget(self, action: "buttonClicked:",
forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
Or for Swift 2.2 and greater:
button.tag = 5
button.addTarget(self,action:#selector(buttonClicked),
forControlEvents:.TouchUpInside)
Now do logic based on tag
property
@objc func buttonClicked(sender:UIButton)
{
if(sender.tag == 5){
var abc = "argOne" //Do something for tag 5
}
print("hello")
}
